Record Store Day launches RSD MRKT online music marketplace

The Record Store Day team has brought together record stores from around the country to create RSD MRKT, a 24/7/365 marketplace to buy special releases while still supporting an independent record store.

RSD MRKT also counterbalances vinyl’s version of ticket scalping – online merchants who buy out Record Store Day releases at local stores for the purpose of reselling them at exorbitant pieces online.

The new marketplace will offer:

  • News copies of RSD BLACK FRIDAY releases from 2023 and past events
  • Newcopies of RECORD STORE DAY releases from 2023 and past events
  • NEW copies of RECORD STORE VARIANTS of new releases and reissues every week

All RSD MRKT sellers are RSD Pledge-signed US brick-and-mortar record stores with new stores joining daily and new stock added hourly. Users can shop from one store or multiple stores using a single checkout cart
